From the makers of the popular fitness app: myFitnessSync for Fitbit - Fitbit to Apple Health comes myFitnessSync for Fitbit - Apple Health to Fitbit.
Syncing your Apple Health app everyday with myFitnessSync for your iPhone allows you to use the Fitbit app and Fitbit.com dashboard to view your fitness data. Select from multiple data sources like your iPhone, Apple Watch, Withings scale/Health Mate, running and walking apps, and other devices that sync with your iPhone and Apple Health.
NOTES
* Unfortunately, Fitbit doesn't not allow third-party apps or devices to compete in step challenges. BUT you can still share your Fitbit dashboard with Fitbit friends and other friends and family using the share option on your dashboard. More information can be found here - https://help.fitbit.com/articles/en_US/Help_article/2106 *
* Your Apple Watch does not stay up-to-the-minute in sync with Apple Health on your phone. This can cause your step count on your Fitbit dashboard to be slightly out of sync with your Apple Watch. If you need your Fitbit dashboard to be exactly in sync with your Apple Watch please launch the Apple Activity app on your phone before syncing with our app. Launching the Activity app forces your Apple Watch to sync with your phone. Launching the Activity app before syncing with our app is not required because by the end of the day your Apple Watch will be in sync with Apple Health and all of your steps will be reported to your Fitbit account.
myFitnessSync syncs up to 2 fields. You can customize the app to only sync the fields you want.
- Steps
- Weight

Not worth paying for

Yes this syncs but not always. But definitely does not sync to let you be in challenges. Waste of money.
Only worked once.

I bought this app and went through all of the steps to get synced. It worked great the first day! All my steps synced all day long until I took it off and went to bed. The next day it refuses to sync my steps no matter how many times I try to sync. It says it’s synced for that day but the Fitbit app doesn’t show any steps.
Completely pointless & waste of $$$ rip off

USELESS!!!!! This app does nothing! I simply wanted to see my steps added up for the week since my family all has Fitbit (I recently got an Apple Watch) and it’s completely inaccurate! It will sync (sometimes)- I typically get 9-11k steps a day (on my Apple Watch) yet my weekly total is less than 30k. I’m not trying to do the competitions or anything (that definitely doesn’t work anyways) but at the very least tally up the count for one week. What is the point then? Apparently that is counted as “competition” for Fitbit- so it blocks you on the weekly total. Not to mention it gives me “active minutes” at midnight and says I “worked out” 7 days a week. Totally worthless. I’d like my money back thanks. And you can have your app back. Yes I contacted support and no it was not helpful nor did it solve any of the issues.
I was skeptical....BUT...

I recently got an Apple Watch after having had two Fitbits. I was getting ready to take the watch back & get another Fitbit because I wasn’t able to sync the watch to the Fitbit App and that meant no more participating in challenges etc... I googled how I could try to do it, and read about this app. IF...you open this app and hit Sync & THEN open the Fitbit app it works PERFECTLY!!! You just have to go into the Fitbit app once, and act like you’re setting up a new device and choose “Fitbit Mobile Track”. Then it will sync with the phone & the watch via this app. Best $3.99 I ever spent!! Can’t say enough thanks for making this app available!!!!!!

This app is not syncing properly, it doesn’t matter how many times I refresh it. I’d love a refund!!
should’ve listened
showmethepix
please don’t do it. i read the comments and thought nah... i could get this to work...WRONG... went back and forth to tech assistance, surprise, no help there. if you want to do fitbit challenges, buy a cheap fitbit tracker. it’s more worth it than purchasing this app.
Useless

Only option is to sync weight and steps... no lean body mass, body fat etc! Nothing!

Does NOT sync steps properly w/Fitbit

I was super excited when I discover this app. I recently switched to an Apple Watch and miss the fun of the Fitbit community. After downloading and paying for this app, it seemed to work at first. Then, shortly after I discovered it did not accurately sync my steps from my Apple health app. I contacted the app developer, Bickster and worked with them through email to figure out why the steps are not syncing properly. Through providing them screenshots and following their suggestions, we never got it to work and they never figured out why it does not work either. So, I contact Fitbit to find out if they have an answer. The problem was solved within the same day. Since this app is 3rd party, and NOT approved by Fitbit, when syncing, the steps were added as a manual entry. Fitbit does not track these entries. When I notified Bickster of my findings, I asked for a refund. A week had past and no response yet. Which lead me to give them this one star review.
